Jericho Oceanman 2011

Peter has convinced us to enter the Jericho Oceanman race. Matt, Eric and I will make up a team called "Sore Losers" (the original idea being to intimidate other participants - Eric suggested the full name "Sore Losers with Brass Knuckles").

The relay race consists of a 1km swim, a 5km paddle (Kayak), a 6km run and a 2km SUP (Stand up Paddle board). I am doing the swim and Matt is doing the SUP while Eric is tackling both the paddle and the run. Thank goodness he decided to join us because the race is on the same day as the Kits Challenge. We'll swim in the morning, have something to eat and then meet Eric to prepare for our afternoon race.

Last year on the day of the Kits Challenge we had the Night of Apnea the same evening. By the time we went to bed we were exhausted.
